Top Ten Favorite Disney Songs: #9

9. Out There, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)

Menken and Schwartz, man. Whew, this whole score gives me chills. It easily makes my top 10 Disney soundtracks list, and I will continue to shout from the rooftops (pun intended) that this should be a Broadway musical.

​"Out There" still gets me emotional. His wish may seem small to us, but it would mean the world to him. Listening to such hope coming from someone that refuses to give up on dreaming is incredibly moving.  Plus, that voice! Yep, pretty dreamy. I just want to give him the biggest hug.

​9. So This is Love, Cinderella (1952)

More often than any other song on this list, I’ll invariably find myself humming this hauntingly beautiful, almost eerie tune.  Why?  I can’t say… but, I do know my one-year-old son, Louie, loves it when I hold him in my arms and whisk him through the house singing “so this is Louie… doo dooo doo doooo, so this is LOOOOOUIEEE.”
